I'm about to take delivery of an HP5MP laser jet printer which I intend to
connect to the host of my A4000 network. I don't see any major problems, as
I've already exported an ink jet printer to a client machine using envoy.

I would like to free up the server's parallel port by connecting the HP
directly to the network. The HP has parallel, serial and apple talk. What
hardware (short of a dedicated PC) can I use to connect the HP to ethernet?

If I do manage to connect the HP to ethernet, I guess envoy will still
spool client print jobs to a server. How would I configure the HP as a
server? Should I notice any degradation in overall network performance while
a client is printing?

Love Peace and Teaspoons
Gregg
